Gold79 Announces Drill Program in May 2021 at Three Target Areas, Greyhound Project, Nunavut

Gold79 Mines Ltd. (TSXV: AUU) ("Gold79" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a planned drill program at the Greyhound project located in Nunavut, Canada. In May, project operator Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") will initiate a diamond drilling program focused on three priority target areas with the objective of identifying gold-bearing structures or veins at two targets and VMS-type mineralization at another target area. The planned drilling program will comprise eight holes for approximately 1,100 metres. Figure 1 details the planned program and hole locations along with the location of both rock and soil historical (2008-2019) gold and copper-zinc anomalies.

South-East Aura Lake Gold Target

Three drill holes are planned (390 metres) targeting the strongest induced polarization (IP) anomalies from a 2018 geophysical survey. The anomalies have a NE to ENE orientation and parallel a major regional structure located a few hundred metres to the south. The planned drill holes are up ice of distinct gold-in-till anomalies. These holes will test the source of soil and boulder Au and As anomalies. The South Aura Lake Gold Target is proximal to a number of historical high grade locally transported rock samples containing up to 28 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (see Figure 2).

Dingo Pluton Gold Target

Two drill holes are planned (270 metres). The first hole (21A) targets gold in quartz veining in the margin of the Dingo pluton, focussed on an isolated electromagnetic anomaly, potentially sulfide mineralization. It is also associated with gold-soil anomalies, surface samples with up to 12.5 g/t Au, and a possible ENE structure identified by a high-resolution ground magnetic survey. The second hole (21B) targets a surface gold discovery at the north edge of the pluton. Grab samples contain up to 12.4 g/t gold.

Outstanding Lake VMS Target

Three drill holes are planned for a total of 450 metres, to test EM anomalies at the Outstanding Lake VMS Target area. Results from a 2020 till survey identified numerous base metal anomalies, as well as an isolated gold anomaly, all down ice. A Max-Min EM survey conducted on the ice at Outstanding Lake identified a strong conductor. It occurs within a 2km Airborne VTEM conductive zone coincident with the Outstanding Lake north and south prospective areas. Drill core from hole DDH G11-31 at the SE shore of Outstanding Lake, drilled to the east away from the conductor, contains both base metal contents and alteration characteristics of a VMS footwall, which support the current targeting. Glacially transported boulders containing 9.3% Cu and 18.4% Zn were previously discovered about 1 kilometre to the west of Outstanding Lake. The EM anomalies at Outstanding Lake are a probable source.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
